You get done flaming this forum on the Yahoo Cosworth Vega site:
H Body Community is infested

I deleted over 100 posts including much info and photo archives from the H-Body
Community. I warned several members there and the moderator if the immature
antics didn't stop it would happen. It's a shame because there aren't members
that cater to the stock cars in terms of archives, etc. Although the moderator
mentioned he would be deleting my posts, I initiated it by deleting at least the
current 100 and requested my garage be deleted as well. I do not recommend the
site for Vega or Cosworth Vega enthusiasts. If you own a V8 conversion or the
like you will fit right in. I wasted 600 time-consuming posts on that site. A
click of V8 owners sadly ruined it for the rest of the members. You wouldn't
believe some of the comments that were posted in reaction to the Cosworth Vega
Motor Trend Classic article featuring my car. The site is a disgrace to the
Cosworth Vega and Vegas in general. Guests that visit the site probably think
it's a joke.
...and you come back here like nothing's happened?
Either step up with a BIG apology, or get lost!

It was also the second show my '76 Cosworth was judged since I bought it in August. The car took 1st place in its stock 70s class. The L.I. season opener two weeks ago had a massive turnout, the most cars I've seen at a L.I. show. The Cosworth enjoyed much attention and praise all day at both shows.
In comparison, the gorgeous '67 Jaguar E-Type roadster next to me was practically ignored (but did win a trophy in its class). After an application of Zymol detailing spray to the paint and wheels, and a windows cleaning, the Cosworth was ready to be judged.
A few weeks ago I had used Zymol Cleanse and Zymol Carbon Wax on the paint and Zymol Vinyl Cleaner, then Zymol Vinyl Conditioner to the interior with beautiful results. Unlike my 73 Vega GT (which did win more than 30 trophies over 8 years), the Cosworth is displayed with its hood proudly open! In the cargo area, a gold-framed "Cosworth, One Vega For The Price of Two" ad was displayed along with a copy of the car's 2013 Motor Trend Classic article in a thin black binder and a 1986-vintage CVOA magazine proudly proclaiming on its cover Car and Driver's selection of the Cosworth as one of "10 Most Collectable Cars" (1976-1986)
The car already has a show-winning history. According to previous owners, the car was a Cosworth Vega Owners Association "1987 National Round Up" show winner at the event in Gettysburg, Pa. and had won its class in almost every CVOA show entered including the "1995 National Round-Up" in Detroit and the CVOA "2003 National Round-Up" in Austin Texas. I will be attending the upcoming CVOA 2013 NY Regional Meet with the car.

The first show of the season on Long Island was held Sunday, April 7th at MacArthur Airport. It also was the first show my '76 Cosworth was judged since I bought it in August. It was entered in one local show last summer but I didn't have it judged and the 2012 New England Concourse D Elegance the car was invited to last fall was not a judged event. The L.I. season opener had a massive turnout, the most cars I've seen at a L.I. show. The Cosworth enjoyed much attention and praise all day. In comparison, the gorgeous 67 EType Jaguar roadster next to me was practically ignored (but did won a trophy in its class). After an application of Zymol detailing spray to the paint and wheels, and a windows cleaning, the Cosworth was ready to be judged. Last week I had used Zymol Cleanse and Zymol Carbon Wax on the paint and Zymol Vinyl Cleaner, then Zymol Vinyl Conditioner to the interior with beautiful results. Unlike my 73 Vega GT (which did win more than 30 trophies over 8 years), the Cosworth is displayed with its hood proudly open! In the cargo area, a gold-framed "Cosworth, One Vega For The Price of Two" ad was displayed along with a copy of the car's 2013 Motor Trend Classic article in a thin black binder and a 1986-vintage CVOA magazine proudly proclaiming on its cover Car and Driver's selection of the Cosworth as one of "10 Most Collectable Cars" (1976-1986). So the Cosworth brought home a trophy this first time around in a stock 70s class, tied with a Firebird T/A. The next L.I. show is April 21st at Belmont Racetrack. I will be displaying it (after judging) with the GM "Go-Camp" Vega Tent installed - Cosworth Camper? I will try 2 for 2.
The car already has a show-winning history. According to previous owners, the car was a Cosworth Vega Owners Association "1987 National Round Up" show winner at the event in Gettysburg, Pa. and had won its class in almost every CVOA show entered including the "1995 National Round-Up" in Detroit and the CVOA "2003 National Round-Up" in Austin Texas. I will be attending the upcoming CVOA 2013 NY Regional Meet with the car.
